About Sara
Sara Federici was born in Florence, Italy. After years of study and practice in Chinese Calligraphy, drawing, and figurative sculpture, she decided to dedicate herself full time ‘to create with her hands’ professionally, through the medium of clay.
Entirely self-taught, she began throwing on the wheel, while at the same time experimenting to create a unique color palette with her own slip and glaze recipes.
She works with stoneware and porcelain. Stoneware offers her more nuanced and natural colors through high-temperature firings, whereas she is attracted to the translucency of porcelain, especially for her Lighting.
After years of throwing, she started to incorporate hand building into her work. The sculpture of hand building allows her to express herself through clay in ways that throwing alone doesn't. You can see this especially in her sculptured Vases.
